Whats the best pellet that you folks have found that is consistent and accurate. Currently shooting jsb 18gr. Thinking about trying 16gr or 14gr out.. also please share a picture of your setup.
Thank you!

Yea, I've had good luck with the Diabolo, Exact Heavy (18.13gr) in mine (great gun..!).
While I don't shoot great distances, I do shoot offhand. No crutches here. In my short range...(a hair over 17 yards), I can put a magazine worth into a dime sized hole on a good day and a nickle sized hole pattern on most any day (again...offhand).
I tried four different weight (12.3 to 18.1) and brand pellets, and all three of my short guns seem to like the above Exact Heavies best. Seems the heavier pellets I loaded, the tighter the groups got. Don't know if it's the weight, or the brand. I should try a different brand, of 18gr. pellet and see what happens.

Thank you for feedback from you both! I shot a string of shots yesterday and seen random flyer in eash mag I shot. Wonder if its the pellets being heavy or barrel needs more seasoning/breaking in as they call it. Might pick up some 16gr as well.

Don't know if it's just my Uragan, but it took quite a lot of shooting before the regulator settled down … about 4 tins of 25 grain JSBs. My Vulcan Tactic was the same, but when they get used to the firing cycle and the regulator settles in they became real tack drivers. The Tactic came shooting 895 to 905 fps and was great right out of the box. The Uragan came set for 955 to 965 right out of the box, that was too fast, pellets were spiraling out of control and had to turn the hammer spring down to around 900 to 910 fps to get it to add stability and lose the spirals.

I don't have a chronograph, so I don't know about the speed consistency, but as far as accuracy / fliers, my Compact only has about 75 / 100 pellets thru it, and the only "fliers" have been my fault.
Trying to fine the best method of holding the rifle. Powder fired, you have to "hold on". These PCP's, it seems to just let them rest in your hands, no firm grasp. I've found that a soft / light touch definitely produces better shot placement.

Thank you very much for your feedback likkitysplyt & mikeW both raised answers I also had other than pellets and haven't asked. My edgun lelya I thought was odd to hold but uragan compact is even more challenging but love the gun!

Don't fight the hold. I also have a Lelya (and a BP17). I've had a couple of powder fired Bullpups also.
Have lunch, relax. Then just grab one of the two and just put it to your shoulder. Hold it to your shoulder, imagine it a center fire weapon and out in the field protecting you and your family from bad guys. Just adjust your grip until it feels "normal".
Nature made your elbow so that it bends to accommodate different things, let your hand fall onto the grip easily, don't fight it.
When they are comfortable, they are truly fun to shoot. They are extremely easy to maneuver and point.
Have fun with it.

Thanks MikeVV I'm enjoying more and more thinking I need bipod to shoot off instead of bag. Been looking at atlas or Caldwell
